Acer used to have issues with their keyboards failing in a few months. I'm a HP person, I've had one since the DIGITAL days in the mid 90s. When I had an issue, they sent a computer currier to my house, took it and I had it back two days later. Great service IMO. |

From my experience they are a bit short on processing power (entry level machines) and break easily. I would recommend HP for the mid range to higher end use, picked up a 2ghz AMD Turion X2 2gb ram 256mb gfx for 1500 2yrs ago. today about 1700 would get you an i5 with 4gb RAM 512mb gfx so they are in the 1000-2000 price range but you do pay for what you get with laptops. HP Customer support=great. Toshibas are a bit pricey compared to performance though. If she wants style HP have played very nice with their pavillion entertainment laptops. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
